omgwtf. that thing looks like a crawling pile.

Needs longer links and wider axles.

edit: Gah! Their description on http://www.nitrorcx.com/1scexrcmadcr.html is full of terrible buzz words.

I have no prior experiences with any other RC Rock Crawler but I just bought one of these for me and my nephew. I am sure there are much nicer, more expensive models for sale that may outperform this. But I can tell you it's a ton of fun right out of the box. This thing not only looks cool but climbs right up couchs and stairs. Seems to have a lot of power and insane articulation. I can't wait to take it out back and try it on some actual rocks.

Pics from tonight:

I would venture a guess that isn't the 1/8 model.

Well, you guessed wrong. It is indeed the 1/8 scale, it's actually bigger, heavier and stronger than I had expected.

It's 655mm long, 375mm in width, 320mm in height and 182mm wheels. It weighs 5,150g. And it says MaxStone 8 on the side.

Oh snap, read my own link wrong from a previous post. How does the 1/10 look more retarded than the 1/8? Weird.

All that matters is that you like it. The Fan Boys of "insert favorite crawler brand name here" will call you and your truck every name in the book because you didn't buy what they bought. It looks like a cool enough RC and if that is what you can afford then go nuts!


My only concern would be replacement parts. All RC's break a part here and there and from what I can see there is no place to buy replacement parts for this RC.

The manual has every part # too. I don't understand why people say you can't buy replacement parts. Now aftermarket might be a different story. But the good news it that I really don't need anything more than this. I am not interested in comps or the like, just fun times with my nephew in the back yard. I bought it mostly for him but I am getting quite a kick out of it too.

well I just bought one too I like it. Sure I could afford a little ax10 but I prefer 1/8. There is even some one making metal gears on Exceed's forum.

Yeah the 1/8th is more fun for me than the little trucks.

Bad news though, I had the first part failure this past weekend after some serious crawling. Took a sideways roll down 8 or 9ft of 60* rock and cracked the steering servo horn. It broke in two spots, where the horn meets the servo and the ring around the servo gear. Now the good news is that this is a cheap and easy fix that looks to be a fail safe point to prevent damage to the steering links or actual servo gears.

I went ahead and ordered a standard servo horn but also opted to buy a new 208oz servo with new horn as well.

I'll post some pics of the damage as well as the new parts. Also purchased two new 5000mAh packs and fast charger for extended crawling outings.

wow, that doesn't realy look too bad for an exceed.... as for the servo you may want to invest in a aluminum servo horn, they last longer and to tell you the truth, if you have a good servo and metal links a fall like that wouldnt really do much damage. IMHO (I could be wrong since it's a 1/

That is the best reason in the world to buy the one you want. I have two Axial based trucks that my wife and I use to spend quality time together. Have a blast. Competition isn't all there is to RC rock crawling.
